<br />I, <br />I <br /> <br />'I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />As the subsurface diversions are made, there would <br />be less water in Gurley Ditch, due to the fact that <br />it must be continually recharged. The question may <br />then arise if this is actually Gurley Ditch water. <br />However, the Town does have a non-contested water <br />right to these subsurface diversions, regardless of <br />source. Thus, we would consider them separate <br />water. <br /> <br />53. SUMMARY OF WATER AVAILABLE <br /> <br />The physical availability of the Town water supply, <br />particularly in a drought year, is not well known, since <br />flow measurement records are poor. This is due to <br />several factors: 1) none of the diversion points have <br />previously had a usable flow measurement device, 2) <br />pressure and flow problems prevent use of some of the <br />subsurface diversions, 3) there is an intermixture of <br />surface water and ground water (which may refer to the <br />same right), and 4) there is an intermixture of releases <br />from Gurley Reservoir and natural flows in the Gurley <br />Canyon drainage. <br /> <br />Table IV-G shows estimated minimum year flows. Table <br />IV-H shows average year flows. The flow estimates in <br />both Tables must be considered very approximate estimates <br />(except Gurley Water) and are based upon previous visual <br />flow estimates and/or the amount of water that might be <br />expected from the drainage above Gurley Canyon. The <br />minimum flows could be considered to be the firm yield. <br /> <br />IV-16 <br />
